So, now Rand Paul is backing Trumputin?

He said in an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, that Trumputin is doing the right thing with the Paris Accord! Just a month ago he was bashing the Trump Care bill! These guys just jump on any band wagon that goes by!

Other than his support for legalizing pot, he's a far right loon and always has been.

everyone else can fuck off.

It's amazing that people still believe there is a future in coal, let alone that there will be job growth.

As a doctor were he elected as a US Senator from Ky in the 60's he would have claimed smoking is good for you and that the legal smoking age should be lowered to 12. Because Ky grew a ton of tobacco.

Not that withdrawing from the Paris accord is going to help coal miners but it makes for great Kabuki theater.
